The Mighty Ducks

k.w - boyfriend

i could be a better boyfriend than him

i rolled my eyes storming away from boyfriend of the dean portman, we'd been dating since we were team u.s.a which took a lot of him flirting to be able to even catch my attention. at first we were able  to be a happy and loving couple then he ditched the ducks and i when we first started at eden hall. our relationship was barely holding on during that time.

when he came back, i was happy and excited because my boyfriend was back but he wasn't. not really. he used to be all about me but now that he has other options after his little show during the varsity vs ducks showdown.

every girl wanted him and i was forced trying to fight off all the cheerleaders whom trailed after him. at first i thought he was oblivious but in reality he loved the attention that he was getting. he didn't even care about how i felt.

so i just watched as betty marshal leaned into his side while he was speaking to her friend, martha. "you okay?" I flinched looking over at charlie and adam, "how could i? he hasn't spoken a word to me since he came back."

the two blondes shared a look as they spotted dean with the two cheerleaders, "at least he's just talking to them?" charlie comforted in questioning tone as he looked at adam, "their all over him charlie! and he doesn't even care. i honestly wish he didn't come back."

i slammed my locker before walking down the hall, Dean looked over at me before looking back at the girls. i entered room 234 which was miss. morisons class, she was the only nice teacher in this school. i sat down beside ken, he smiled at me causing my mood to brighten, "hey."

"hi ken." i pulled out my books from my backpack, he leaned closer to me, "what's wrong?" i sighed turning over to him, "dean is being a jerk." ken frowned he liked dean as a friend but he hated us together, mainly because dean kept making me sad.

"is he with all those girls again?" i nodded my head leaning on my arms, "he's such a loser. he has one of the best girls in this school and he chooses to hang with random girls." ken shook his head, i smiled slightly looking over at him, "one of?"

ken looked back at me, with a grin on his face, "can't forget connie and jules." i threw my arm over his shoulder loosely, not noticing his face go bright red. "you're the best boy ken."

i turned to start writing down the notes from the board, ken stared at me for a moment longer, i felt his stare. we talked a bit during the class but not much since we were requested to read silently.

"should we go see a movie later?" ken asked as we got our stuff ready to leave class which we had stayed in for a while to help miss. morrison. "yes! let's watch the sandlot again." he groaned but didn't protest as we walked out of class, "babe, i need to talk to you."

i kept walking not knowing i was being talked to until my arm was grabbed. "hey who-." i cut myself off seeing dean staring at me with a small grin on his face, ken groaned beside me. "didn't you hear me call you?"

i stared at him shocked, "what do you want?" he gave me a slightly confused look, "you're my girlfriend?" i scoffed slightly pulling my arm from his grip, "what did sheila reject you?"

dean looked over at ken as i stormed away from him, "see you at practice." ken shrugged his shoulders and ran after me, "you okay?" ken asked grabbing my hand as we turned the corner, "yeah, i'm good. he's such a jerk, how can he act like nothing happened?"

ken stared at me for a long while, i turned to look at him, his eyes burned into mine. i felt a wave of happiness that i haven't felt since back when dean and i just started dating. he was just an inch taller than me but i felt slightly intimidated by his state.

ever since dean left, it's been ken and i, ken who took me on dates, took me for ice cream, walked me home after practices, helped me pick out my outfits and ken who comforted me every time my heart got broken. it was ken who cared when dean was a thousand miles away.

ken looked away, my heart dropped slightly, i thought he was gonna kiss me. "i would kiss you.. but dean is still your boyfriend." he walked away from me, i could feel his sadness as it radiated off of him. it hurt my heart sensing how sad he was.

"ken!" he looked over at me with sad eyes, "i like you too." his eyes brightened slightly, "you always cared more for me then he ever did.. you have always been there for me, ken and i'm sorry i didn't see that before. dean and i we-we're done."

"what?" i turned around and saw dean, i felt no sadness seeing his pained face, "we're done." his face fell, he looked over at ken with an annoyed look on his face, "what for him?! he's my friend y/n!"

"so what?! why do you care? all you ever did was keep me on a line while you hung out with other girls. you never cared how i felt! you didn't give a shit about me and now you do? now that i realize that ken cared way more about me for the last 3 years than you ever did?!"

dean stared at me at lost for words, he was speechless what else could he say? he knew he lost me already. he just didn't expect it to hurt as bad. "i did- i do love you, y/n. i enjoyed the attention and i am so sorry, please give me another chance to prove myself."

i looked back at ken, who gave me a small smile telling me it was okay. he turned his head and began to walk away, "i can't." they both froze hearing my words, "i'm not dumping you because ken is here, i am dumping you because you make me feel like shit. and as hard as i tried, i don't love you anymore. i haven't for a while. i had even wished you never came back."

i stepped away from dean, "i'm sorry, but i can't stay with you anymore." dean turned away storming off, i looked over at ken, who stared at me with hopeful eyes. "i can't just start dating you, ken, well i could but i need time, is that okay?"

he wrapped his arm around my waist, "i have waited for you for 3 years, i can wait a little longer... you think he's gonna tell everyone i stole you from him?"

i laughed slightly, "i don't even think anyone outside of the ducks knew we were together. he'll probably go cry to fulton." i leaned my head on his shoulder as we headed out of the school. he pressed a small kiss to my forehead which he'd always done since we became close.

"can't wait to tell everyone the cutest girl in school is my soon to be girlfriend." i rolled my eyes punching his chest lightly with a small blush on my face. "shut up." ken grinned at me, "about you? never."
